STRASBOURG. – Summer session of the Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe (PACE) discussed on Wednesday bills submitted by several MPs, which dealt with the same topic, including democracy crisis, xenophobia, racism and increase of hatred against others in the member-states of the European Council.

Armenian delegation member Naira Zohrabyan delivered speech on this regard, and provided an extract from the report of the committee fighting against racism and hatred towards others. The extract stated that Azerbaijani authorities and outlets directly make open statements of hatred towards Armenians and the situation likely has xenophobic threats, Zohrabyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Zohrabyan has demanded the PACE to run international examination by studying the Azerbaijani text-books.
